Hyuna Rain’s chemotherapy treatment started immediately after diagnosis. It is long and costly, as she needs 3 years to achieve cure. She is now on the delayed intensification phase of treatment that costs more or less Fifteen Thousand Pesos per week.
Hyuna Rain is a sweet, friendly, and playful girl. As a child it is her dream to become a doctor someday. All eyes are on her being the only child. She is deeply loved. When asked about her wish for her daughter, her mother tearfully answered, “It is my wish that my child will be completely cured.” For Hyuna Rain, it is extremely tough for her parents to sustain her treatment without help. Cancer is a catastrophic illness that could lead families in poverty to financial toxicity. Hyuna Rain’s father is a “habal-habal” driver earning more or less Two Thousand Pesos a week while her mother is taking care of the family. Her ongoing chemotherapy had already depleted their very limited resources. Hence, the struggling family is humbly asking for financial assistance to help Hyuna Rain complete her 3-year life-saving chemotherapy treatment.
